Florida Senator Says $33B in Emergency Aid Needed to Cover Hurricane Ian Recovery
Floridians will need about $33 billion in emergency aid from the federal government as the state recovers from the devastation left by Hurricane Ian, the state’s Republican Sen. Marco Rubio said Wednesday.
Rubio said the federal government has an important role to play in Florida’s recovery. He said the $33 billion is only an initial assessment of what will be needed and cautioned that the tally is likely to grow.
“I plan to make sure our state receives the emergency relief it needs to fully rebuild,” Rubio said in a statement.
